I call me no Christian (although have read the Bible from beginning to the end) and I heard this song first many years ago by Reverend Blind Gary Davis. Love your rendition very much: Simple, power- & soulful and the mandolin fits perfect. Greetings from Danube riverside, lena

Thank you. I was raised by my Mother as a Baptist. My interest in gospel music is not about its theistic dogma, but its essential message; regardless of our faith (or non faith) we care for each other as well as we care for ourselves. The last will truly be first, and all will receive "our" reward together, if we all follow this teaching.

Glad to see (and hear) from you once more. You were one of the two people that made me buy my first reso years ago (now I have got 4 -too many according to my wife, haha-) Slide and resos and open tunings changed my way to play the guitar, now I enjoy playing the guitar! Thanks, Kenny.

[@KeniLeeBurgess]

Thank you. Glad to be of help. Soory to hear you are suffering from GAS (Guitar Aquistion Syndrome) lol Unless you are into playing them, you will never understand. Enjoy. Please check this out... www.gofundme.com/bottleneck-guitar-instructional-dvd

Keni Lee Burgess not GAS, indeed, haha. Now I'm planning to sell all my electric stuff. And a pair of acoustic guitars, maybe... I don't have much time to play with a four years old child demanding attention all the time. Cheers, Kenny.

You got it wrong. The magic is in me. Any guitar can bring it out. Life is lose. No one gets out of here alive. Don't cling. Take care.
